Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.
“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.
It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn’t want what ICE is doing they wouldn’t be doing it.
Third time’s the charm!
It’s all performance.
If the Democrats didn’t want ICE and domestic chaos that will pave the way for more corporate involvement in all our lives, it wouldn’t have happened.
We have one party with two narrative faces. They all have the same donors, they all serve the same masters. The rest is just WWE theatrics.
“if Democrats didn’t want ICE and domestic chaos it wouldn’t have happened”
This is absolute bullshit. When democrats controlled the white house and Senate this didn’t happen. The parties are not the same and the constant refrain that they are is a malicious lie. The only beneficiaries of this kind of both sides FUD are the nazis.
There were more deportations under Dems, the difference between the parties is how they present themselves and what methods they go about plunging the nation into neo-liberalism. I implore you not to be naive about this very, very well-established system for manipulating the attitudes and feelings of a half billion people.
I am not saying don’t empower Democrats, the DNC is just a container, we vote out the previous contents of that container and put new contents in. It has worked before and we need to do it again.
Unless you actually, truly, in your heart believe that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and their contemporaries are looking out for you. If you do, I can’t help you, but I’m sure they will hear your support when you’re in the camps.
Did I say anything good about Chuck schumer or Jeffries?
I think I said Schumer was a corporate shill that needs to be primaried. They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress.
They are both genocide enablers and should be run out of Congress
Exactly.
Now what about all the other dems who follow DNC leadership who were “just following orders?”
Have you watched major votes on policy? Dems are complicit either in leadership or as a whole, but it doesn’t matter because if you follow evil orders you are also evil.
I gave a path to success. What is your suggestion?
No you didn’t, at least not to me. I was the one giving prescriptive statements (Vote out all incumbent democrats, elect new people who represent our values and aren’t beholden to the same donors) you just pushed back on it like I was suggesting we elect more Republicans.
That’s simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho
Removing either is equally as hard, requiring a simple majority.

Both having the same vote requirements doesn’t mean they’re equally hard
Either requires republicans to break rank and suffer the same consequences from the party leadership.
No, a simple majority is needed in order for the House to impeach. A supermajority in the Senate is then needed to convict.
A simple majority in both to do anything that will have any effect on policy, eg not theater.
Krusty Gnome is a birdlegged ho
While I hope for the best, I have low expectations of our timeline.
It will change nothing, but still should be done for our collective conscience and historic record that we didn’t want this
The only thing this will show is which Democrats will side with Noem and/or Trump.
I that is an important metric
Send her ass to the hauge
And absolutely nothing will happen. Nice job America!
Hey I mean we could use a trebuchet, but I guess impeachment is… fine…
Not only the Dog Murderer, the whole fucking lot needs to GTFO!
But they won’t even consider defunding ICE.
They literally will and are.
That’s good to hear. Last I had heard, leadership was against the idea.
The fact that democrats want this to happen so badly can only mean it’d be completely useless to do it
You are sadly right, the Dems wanted this. They support it, they are enabling all of it.
The public outcry they pretend to display is just theater. These people all have the same donors who benefit from domestic destabilization.
Go waste someone elses time
The democrats are totally feckless
Civil disobedience is the only answer going forward.
Start forming your own governments with your own laws. Ignore the ‘legitimacy’ of the US oligarchy as much as possible.
Remember, everyone (in the US): 5Calls.org will tell you whom you should call about important issues, and it even gives you a script to work with when you call. It makes the process super straight-forward, and the site covers many topics.
The fact that this is not a party line vote for democrats shows you how completely amoral the Democratic leadership is.
This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.
This doesn’t matter. It wont get a vote in the house or the senate without republican support. Republicans still refuse to defy their cult leader, so nothing will change until they either realize they are going to prison, or that they will lose all of their money.
The only things politicians care about is money and control, they refuse to lose both.
It doesn’t even have full democrat support.
This is more kayfabe, this isn’t real. We have ONE party in power, with two public facing personas.
I wish people actually looked at the money and realized that republicans and democrats all have the SAME FUCKING DONORS.
If we want to beat this, we have to flush every incumbent out of office and start fresh. We need community and organization and grassroots like they did in New York but all over the goddamn nation.
Not true
Oh that’s a good point. Didn’t think of that.
